Thought the same myself. No harm with that parking at all.

Over in Westside/Shantalla:

The last one looks like fine wines. If it is he would more than likely have driven in the exit in order to park like that. Spaces are very easy to park in if you drive in the RIGHT way.

What did she say? Did anyone confront her?

I was sitting in my car at the back of the carpark waiting to go and all of a sudden all that could be heard was "SORRY EVERYONE"... and that was that, the engine was quickly started and she drove off :mad:

For Forks Sake

Athlone, yesterday

For Forks Sake

Carrickmines a few weeks back. I'd swear the dozy bint driving it had a skinful of wine for lunch as she nearly cut me up 3 times on the roundabouts on the way up there before she planted the car like this

For Forks Sake

And lastly, in Mullingar today. **** car. Badly parked. Across 2 disabled bays.

Multiple posts on same thread don't count anymore. Maybe you were too busy achieving the lofty heights of 4,478 with your quality posts to notice.

That's how I did it on a previous page. I nearly think it's better to have one pic for post because people have a habit of quoting your post including pics, and often will quote a post with 5 pics just to comment on one. It's probably a little more efficient to break them out so they can be commented on separately.

I made the same judgement call and don't feel it's an issue.

I asked people to report posts they had an issue with (and this post has been reported and I made my judgement call), but you've decided to call me out on thread.

If you do it again you'll be taking some time off for back seat moderating.

Besides your all a fair bit off my post count.

If you want to boost your post count, there is always the "after hours" section and the"Lets count to a million threads!

Oops, I just added another to mine:D

OK, enough with the post count schtick, back on-topic please!

The Highwayman

Ah the aul set down only lark

The red car in the car park was the woman's second attempt at parking!

Töpher

Down along Hannover Quay;



She was parked there for a good 20 minutes. The van driver didn't try to move during this time, but he'd have had a tough job if he had! :rolleyes:



Didn't get a great angle on this, as she parked just as I was about to pull out. This is the same bay as above, moments after the van had left. Took her a while to get in straight, and then reversed back as close to the bumper of the Micra as she could manage.

It looks like she's left room for another car in front, but if you use the fella as a sort of guide (or look at the positioning of the old yellow line in the 2 pictures), there's only a few feet there, I'd guess about 5ft. Had the Micra driver come back to leave before this lady had left they'd have had to go up and over the kerb to get out, and the bay (which is able to take 2 estates with a more than comfortable gap between them if used correctly) is then unusable to anything larger than a Yaris or something while she's parked there.

It's a right pain round that way, there's several bays like this, and you get a lot of planks managing to take enough space for 2 large cars with a Polo, and the like.

4 cars in a loading bay and beyond that 3 parked in a bus lane, all during work hours. Outside Lidl in Rathmines.

That is unreal :eek: :rolleyes:. I thought it was bad during the week in Tescos in Paul street in Cork when a dopey bint decided to go back around (instead of going up to the next floor) and ended up going the wrong way against the cars on the same level but this takes the cake big time. How could anyone be that thick ??
